VERGENNES — Vergennes police this past weekend issued three citations for driving under the influence of alcohol, including one to an Addison resident who is already facing charges in relation to a string of burglaries in Addison County in 2013 and earlier.

On Saturday, police arrested Nicole Burgos, 29, of Addison for refusing to be tested for DUI. Police said they stopped Burgos’ car for going the wrong way on the one-way portion of South Maple Street near Main Street.

Back on Oct. 3, Vermont State Police cited Burgos for felony possession of stolen property, a charge they said in a press release “is relative to the wave of 2013 Addison County burglaries that subsequently led to the July 31 arrest of Burgos’ domestic partner, Raymond R. Ritchie.”

Vergennes Police Chief George Merkel on Monday said Burgos would also be cited for possession of marijuana after a small amount of the drug was found in her car on Saturday. Burgos was lodged in the Chittenden County Correctional Center following the incident.

Burgos and Ritchie, 37, shared an Addison home at which VSP allege items stolen from at least 52 different properties were found during the July 31 search. Both are also facing a marijuana cultivation charge stemming from that search of the home. Ritchie is being held without bail in the Marble Valley Correctional Center awaiting trial.

Vergennes police also cited two drivers for DUI on Sunday: Andrew Gendreau, 47, of First Street in Vergennes, who was stopped on West Main Street for failing to use a turn signal, and Kaleb Gagnon, 21, of Brandon, who was noticed during an unrelated investigation at the City Limits bar and then seen driving in a parking lot and stopped nearby.
